Last night the Turkish Cevat Bozdag, 58, was shot dead in Rotterdam. Bozdag was a familiar figure in the criminal circuit. He was shot dead while walking his dog and was said to live a few blocks away. He was hit in the head several times. It is still unknown whether the shooter shot from the car or got out. It is clear that there was shot with an automatic weapon. A video shows how dozens of bullets are fired in seconds. A burning car was found in Capelle aan den IJssel. The police are investigating whether it is linked to the shooting.

Customs made the biggest drug catch of the year in Rotterdam yesterday. More than 2020 kilos of cocaine were found in a container full of bananas.
The street value of this batch of cocaine is more than 151 million euros.
The container came from Guayaquil in Ecuador and was destined for a company in Hungary. The recipient probably has nothing to do with the smuggling.

According to the police, photos of the remains of Naima Jillal (52) who disappeared in Amsterdam in October are circulating in the criminal environment. Therefore, the police said to take into account that she was murdered. Jillal was involved at the highest level in large-scale cocaine trafficking, according to several police investigations.
It has also been speculated that Jillal went into hiding voluntarily.
Justice and police have been encountering Jillal (“Aunt”) for years in investigations into large-scale cocaine trafficking. She is described in soft information as a person who, together with other investors, brought large consignments of cocaine to the Netherlands or Belgium
Jillal turned up in the Dobrisic investigation, which sentenced “Grandpa Frits” Bridjanand B. (54) this spring.
She has also been observed with Roger “Piet Costa” P., another person who appears in several cocaine studies. Jillal is also said to have been in contact with Ridouan Taghi, Mustapha F. and the Surinamese Piet W., who had previously been convicted for cocaine trafficking, who is now at large.

WOW

The intended new president of Suriname, Chan Santokhi, is prepared to extradite Desi Bouterse to the Netherlands if they submit a request. Years ago the Court of Appeal in The Hague imposed a 11-year imprisonment in absentia on Bouterse for involvement in a transport of nearly 500 kilos of cocaine.

In a house on the Jan van Duivenvoordestraat in Amsterdam New West, three Colombian men and a woman were arrested on Tuesday. This happened after the police were given 'information' that there was a suspicious situation in two cars.

A sports bag would be transferred from one car to another on the Jan van Duivenvoordestraat in Geuzenveld. Because the agents thought there was a transaction, they decided to intervene around 3 p.m. On the basis of the Opium Act and with the permission of a driver of one of the cars, a house was subsequently searched.

A search of that house resulted in the discovery of a kilo of cocaine, a kilo of MDMA, an amount of about 125,000 euros and a firearm. The agents also stumbled upon a batch of expensive designer clothes, jewelry, packaging materials, pre-folded pony packs and a money counter.

The arrests were made in and around the house. The suspects are men aged 24, 30 and 51 - and a woman aged 21. The investigation is still ongoing.

The Public Prosecution Service has demanded 22 years in prison against Errol J., who is suspected of the liquidation of the Delft top criminal Karel Pronk (60). He was shot up close on August 7, 2018 at a coffee house in Delft.

Hells Angel Errol J., 53, was arrested in Spain in June last year during a routine check by the Spanish police. He was transferred to the Netherlands in early July 2019 .

The motive for the shooting remains unclear. According to the public prosecutor, it was rumored that the two had an argument a few days earlier during a festival or the annual flower parade in Delft, but no concrete evidence has ever been found. "It's not even clear whether the two knew each other, except that they had greeted each other on the coffeehouse terrace."

He was silent about the bullet cases with DNA from J. that were found at the coffee house on Friday in the court in The Hague. He was also silent during the hearing of the lawsuit.

Errol “Mick” J. was without a trace since the liquidation of Karel Pronk and was placed on the National Investigation List in early September 2018. In June 2019, he was arrested on the A2 near the village of Cetina near the city of Zaragoza. During his arrest, in addition to a loaded gun and ammunition, he also had nine knives and handcuffs in his pocket . He was also in possession of makeup, possibly to cover the striking tattoos on his face.

Shortly after his arrest, J. was sentenced in absentia to five months in prison for his involvement in a massive brawl between the now banned motorcycle clubs Hells Angels and Mongols in 2016, when he was still in Spain. At least 30 men were involved in that massive battle on 7 April 2016 in and at the Van der Valkhotel Rotterdam-Blijdorp. Several injured, including one seriously injured, were shot about 20 times.

Users of the PGP telephone service Encrochat have been notified that government entities have hacked the domain. The company says the network has been attacked by "malware," which has weakened security. Because the attack is apparently very serious, the company says "it can no longer guarantee the safety of the phones." The police may have watched live for some time.

The Dutch police previously seized servers from Ennetcom (in 2016 in Canada) and PGPSafe (in 2017 in Costa Rica) and can decipher many exchanged messages from criminals. Encro is also a service that has been widely used in the criminal environment.

Several sources say that it is a team from the Dutch police who have hacked Encro.

'Antwerp underworld leader arrested in Dubai'
The Antwerp resident Nordin El H. has been arrested in Dubai. That message from the Antwerp Gazet has since been confirmed by the Antwerp judiciary. El H., is also known locally as “Dikke Nordin van Den Dam”. He is currently considered to be one of the main suspects behind a series of attacks in recent months in the Antwerp drug environment.

The possible arrest of El H. had been buzzing around in Antwerp's criminal environment for several days.

Nordin El H. also figures in research into drug removals from the port of Antwerp. The organization of Nordin El H. (32) is, according to the Belgian police, one of the leaders of a criminal organization, responsible for drug violence and the import of large quantities of cocaine. It was already known that he lived permanently in Dubai.

El H. is also being prosecuted in the file on the cocaine extractors of Frank “De Tank” V ..

El H. is the first major Belgian suspect arrested in Dubai. Dubai has recently arrested many foreign suspects. In the past six months, Ridouan Taghi, Khalid J. and recently Amir Mekky were arrested in Dubai .

The police arrested four men this week who are suspected of planning a liquidation of criminal Naoufal “Noffel” F. in Berlin in 2015, who had been sentenced to life. Two suspects were already detained because they were sentenced to 30 years in prison for the mistaken identity murder of Djordy Latumahina in 2016.
The Public Prosecutor's Office suspects the foursome of wanting to murder Naoufal F. in Berlin. That plan ultimately fell through. The suspects came into the picture through decrypted PGP conversations.

Looks like a caribbean hitteam.

OM: Conversations are additional proof of the murder of lawyer
June 24, 2020

According to the prosecutors, there are more indications in conversations between suspects Giermo B. (36) and Moreno B. (31) among themselves and between, for example, girlfriends that they have carried out and prepared the murder of lawyer Derk Wiersum, Het Parool said .

Eavesdropping equipment
On Wednesday there was a hearing in the case before the court in Amsterdam.

The lawyer of the crown witness Nabil B. was murdered on September 18, 2019 in Amsterdam-Buitenveldert. Justice has concluded from the conversations that the intention was to shoot Wiersum earlier, for example on 9, 11 or 16 September.

According to the judiciary, Moreno B. was the shooter and Giermo B. the driver. The detective secretly placed eavesdropping equipment in the car of Moreno M. and his girlfriend. Giermo B. was then arrested.

Be safe
In the late evening of September 8, his girlfriend sent Giermo B. a message: 'be safe' and 'as you leave, you will come back'. According to the judiciary, such messages fit in with the idea that the murder plan was being mutually veiled. The girlfriend says that Moreno has to 'puke' every time it is about the lawyer's murder on television.

The two suspects would have observed several times in a Volkswagen Transporter and an Opel Combo Wiersum. Moreno B. is also said to have contacted Wiersum five times, possibly to register as a client. He sent him his business card by text message from abroad on 11 September.

A 50-year-old man who was sentenced in 2013 to eight years' imprisonment for trafficking in various types of (hard) drugs still has to pay more than 50 million euros in criminally earned assets to the State from the Public Prosecution Service. For the court in Rotterdam, the Public Prosecution Service demanded 50,811,156 euros from him.

The man traded crystal meth to Australia and also brought 135 kilos of cocaine from Peru to Europe.

Now, the judiciary has calculated the man's expenditure for the calculation of the criminal assets. In 2013, searches were conducted at multiple locations in the Netherlands and in Spain in condemned homes and in homes in the United Arab Emirates, where information was obtained. In Dubai, records of income and expenses were found, which were kept by the convict's sister. The convict had a company in the United Arab Emirates, which focused on the export of cars to the Netherlands.

Research shows that the company hardly exported cars and hardly any administration was done. That while he and family members received a salary from the company. "The company appears to be a vehicle of the person involved to launder ill-gotten funds, whether or not through cars," the officer said in court.

In addition, at least 50 bank accounts and 14 credit cards are related to the person involved. Investigations have shown that the convicted paid millions to other criminals. He also invested millions in real estate projects in the Netherlands, Spain and Nicaragua. No legal income or assets are known for the person concerned over the period 2000 to 2011. All money flows from or in the sphere of influence of the convicted are therefore made from assets of unknown origin.

The court will rule on September 3, 2020.

In the first half of this year, customs officers confiscated more than twice as much cocaine as in the same period last year. So far this year, 77 shipments with a total of 25,599 kilograms of cocaine were intercepted and seized, compared to 60 shipments with 12,160 kilograms of cocaine in the first half of last year.

These drug shipments were intercepted mainly in the ports of Rotterdam and Vlissingen. The biggest catch was a shipment of 4,515 kilograms of cocaine in Vlissingen in April.

Another 648 kilograms of cocaine was caught by customs officers in investigations unrelated to the seaports.

Customs attributes the increase to better and more intensive cooperation with both national detection services and international customs services. According to the service, it is not clear whether more cocaine is being shipped to and through the Netherlands, or whether the authorities are just getting better at catching shipments.

Customs officers also noticed an increase in synthetic drugs, ecstasy and speed in particular, being sent out of the Netherlands by post. The Dutch authorities are working closely with the authorities in the United States and Australia on this front.

Limburg rapper Kerron suspected in liquidation case of lawyer.. The 23-year-old Jerlonny P., who is on trial for the first time in court on Schiphol on Wednesday for involvement in the liquidation of lawyer Derk Wiersum, has been rapper Kerron for years in both the music and the criminal environment. The rapper from Brunssum accounts for hundreds of thousands of YouTube views, but is also suspected of stealing the white van with which lawyer Wiersum was observed.
Jerlonny P. is suspected of stealing a white Volkswagen Transporter in Brunssum in Limburg, which he then allegedly delivered to Ridouan Taghi's cousin.
Car theft is a specialty of Jerlonny. In June 2019, he was sentenced to fifteen months in prison for being involved in stealing cars as a member of the Parkstad gang in Limburg. Members of the Parkstad gang committed burglaries and car thefts in the Heerlen and Brunssum region for years.

Top criminal Mink Kok, who has lived in Beirut for many years, barely escaped the mass explosion in the harbor yesterday, he tells Crimesite . He drove 5 minutes before the crash past the harbor area, which is on the main road to the center. His car was damaged, but he and his family are unharmed. In Beirut, a warehouse exploded with an estimated 3,000 kilos of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer raw material that is also often used for bombs.

"It was a close call . We had just driven past that coast road 5 minutes before, when the blow came. I drove past the marina, but not on the side of the sea, because I had driven through it. I felt the whole car shake and thought it was an earthquake. Everything fell out of the blue and then I thought 'shit, has a building collapsed or something?'. That sometimes happens here. Then in my left corner of the eye I saw a kind of mushroom and a plume of smoke and then I thought of a bomb. Because it was so close, it seemed they had blown up the parliament building."
Mink Kok, his Lebanese wife and in-laws are all still healthy.

The Dutch Bar Association (NOvA) released a statement saying that it is shocked by law firm Kuijpers & Nillesen Advocaten being targeted in a shooting. Shots were fired at the law firm on Falckstraat in Amsterdam early on Friday morning. No one was injured.

Kuijpers is a prominent criminal defense lawyer, defended among other top criminals Willem Holleeder.

The HARC team intercepted a batch of 743 kilos of cocaine in the port of Rotterdam on Tuesday. A 29-year-old man from The Hague has been arrested. The street value of the cocaine batch is over 56 million euros. The Public Prosecution Service announced this on Saturday.

The party was hidden in a container loaded with bananas. The container arrived on Tuesday with a seagoing vessel from Ecuador. The 29-year-old suspect was brought before the examining magistrate by the public prosecutor on Thursday. He has decided that the man will be detained for fourteen days longer.

The HARC team, a partnership of Customs, FIOD, Seaport Police and the Public Prosecution Service in Rotterdam is investigating the case further. The drugs have since been destroyed.

Police and Public Prosecution have come across explosive information in the Marengo investigation about lawyers who appear to act as ‘errand boys’ and are paid by the criminal organization of Ridouan Taghi.

On Friday, the police dismantled the largest cocaine washing facility in the Netherlands in a converted horse riding school in Nijeveen. In the drug lab, cocaine was produced from so-called carrier material, such as clothing. The police have arrested seventeen suspects, she reports Tuesday.

In the laundry, the police found tens of thousands of liters of chemicals and about 100 kilos of cocaine. Sleeping quarters and recreation areas were also built at the riding school. The police arrested sixteen suspects in the Drenthe town, including the owner of the site.

The police also raided warehouses in Elshout and Apeldoorn the same day. In the latter location, the police found about 120,000 kilos of carrier material. Cocaine is extracted from this carrier material through a chemical process. A suspect has been arrested in Apeldoorn.

Three of the suspects have Dutch nationality, one of which also has a Colombian passport. Thirteen suspects are Colombian and one is Turkish. The police do not rule out multiple arrests. The suspects will be brought before the examining magistrate on Wednesday and Thursday.

The dismantling of the lab by the National Facility Support Decommissioning (LFO) took three days because the chemical process had to be stopped very carefully and the material had to be disposed of. LFO Chief Inspector André van Rijn: “This is the largest cocaine laboratory ever found in the Netherlands. Given the number of people working there, the installation (s), the size, the layout and the equipment, we estimate the production capacity at 150 to 200 kilos of cocaine per day. This number of kilos equals a street value of between 4.5 and 6 million euros (unadulterated). ”

Court handles Taghi's requests behind closed doors
The court is handling a number of requests by Ridouan Taghi behind closed doors. This means that apart from the litigants - the court, prosecutors, his lawyer and security - no one is allowed to be present in the courtroom and hear what it is about.

Taghi's lawyer Inez Weski had asked for the doors to be closed in making her requests. The privacy of her client is the reason for this, according to the counsel. The 42-year-old Taghi is the main suspect in the large liquidation process Marengo. The Public Prosecution Service has unsuccessfully opposed the closing of the doors.

Weski's requests are related to his transfer, but she made no further explanation. From Tuesday, an interim session will take place in the extra secure courtroom at Schiphol. Taghi is not present in person. He also did not appear in court at previous hearings this year.

Ridouan Taghi, who is suspected of multiple liquidations, had at least one corrupt contact at the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. That writes NRC Handelsblad on the basis of a report by July 26, 2018 from an investigation into the military police.
The investigation into the now convicted man is called "Seducing Herb" and ran from mid-2015 at the National Criminal Investigation Department. The employee concerned was convicted earlier this year for violating his official secret. He received a partly suspended prison sentence of 180 days and a community service sentence. He also passed on information to the Amsterdam criminal Gwenette Martha, who was murdered in 2014.

Lawyers here are mad because police followed two of them to Dubai to meet a client. They were hunting the most wanted man Taghi, but it was a different client. The problem is it wasn't authorized and they didn't put in the files.

In the night from Friday to Saturday, someone was kidnapped in front of a busy restaurant in Marbella. Spanish media write that it is a Dutch person. A group of eight armed men would have held the person at gunpoint and pulled him out of his car and taken him away.

This happened just after midnight in the parking lot of restaurant KAH in Nueva Andalucía, a district west of Marbella. The restaurant is located in a strip of entertainment at the former plaza de toros, not far from the marina of Puerto Banús.

Witnesses say about eight men arrived in two vehicles, preventing a Mercedes G-Wagon and a Lamborghini from leaving. In front of many witnesses, the man was taken 'within seconds'. All in all, the action would have been carried out lightning fast. The National Police has launched a major investigation into the events.

According to witnesses, the Dutchman drove a car of more than a ton.

Is this a continuation of the conflict the Hoptillen Gang (Green Gang) had with the Kloekhorststraat Gang? I know the Hoptillen side were mostly Curaçaoans and the Kloekhorststraat side were mostly Maroons from Suriname. The first ran a drug line from Curaçao into Amsterdam while the latter were connected to a cartel with a base in Moengo. The Zone 6 guys seem to have a same kind of background as the gang from Kloekhorststraat.

No idea, but yeah Bigidagoe and most of Zone 6 are Surinamese. Holendrecht where they come from is one of the roughest places in the Bijlmer and all of Holland, a ghetto really. Zone 6 are now the new icon of a generation of criminal rappers. Joey AK was recently told by the police that he is on a death list. Friends or acquaintances from the rap, club and drug scene have been murdered recently, such as Inchomar Balentien, Genciël 'Genna' Feller and the former professional football player Kelvin Maynard..

His obesity probably saved his life. Bigidagoe, who with his name and entire appearance gives a nod to the American rapper The Notorious BIG aka Biggie Smalls, shot dead in 1997.
